The Liberty Project

• Burnout: real name Beatrice Keogh; the youngest member of the team, she is an angry, angst-filled 13-year old pyrokinetic whose powers can burn through any substance, making her nearly impossible to contain. Burnout is invulnerable to any heat source unless she consciously decides otherwise, such as when she chooses to burn off a section of her own hair. Prior to becoming a member of the project, she was kept sedated and floating in a sensory deprivation tank at a high-security juvenile facility.
• Cimarron: real name Rosalita Vasquez; a feisty, hot-tempered Latina from Texas. She has super strength and limited invulnerability, and was originally arrested for destroying the Las Vegas strip after losing her last dollar at slots. Cimarron is a former member of the Silver City Wranglers, and was previously in a relationship with Buckaroo.
• Crackshot real name Lee Alexander Clayton; while he was arrested for a string of petty thefts and misdemeanor crimes, Crackshot's real power is the preternatural ability to hit anything he aims at; he also shows extraordinary mechanical ability, inventing a miniature particle accelerator while he was still in high school. As the only team member who sought to rehabilitate himself, Crackshot was offered a position with the Project in order to keep him from returning to a life of crime.
• Slick: real name Nicholas Walcek; his chosen alias reflects both his powers and his personality. He is the reluctant and often amoral leader of the team, with the power to render surfaces with a very low coefficient of friction (i.e. make very slippery). Originally he was arrested for armed larceny.
• Savage: real name Johnny Savage; the neglected son of rich parents Johnny could transform into a huge gray-skinned hulking brute with razor sharp teeth and ram's horns. The character debuted in the first issue and was captured by the Liberty Project following a rampage. Much to the distress of the others his parents pulled strings to allow him to join the Project, and he soon lost patience with the effort needed for rehabilitation. Savage was killed by security guards trying to get close to singer Rhonda Samms, who he had become obsessed with.
• Heartbreak: a young new recruit for the team who has a highly-advanced metabolism, picked by Slick. While this gives him superhuman speed and agility it also makes him hyperactive and irritating. Heartbreak fancies himself as a ladies' man, and kisses the unwilling TeenAgents member Seera in an attempt to make Burnout (who hates him) jealous.
• Raider X: a former Los Angeles street gang member with superhuman strength.

A team of super-criminals based in Silver City, New Mexico.

• Blue Jean: real name Jean; she is able to project forcefields. She resents Cimarron for her former relationship with Buckaroo.
• Bohunk: superhumanly strong and very unintelligent.
• Buckaroo: a cowboy-obsessed outlaw with the same aiming skills as Crackshot.
• Gringo: a hot-headed brawler with no superhuman powers but in peak physical condition with expert fighting skills.
• Homeboy: the team's newest and youngest recruit, capable of flight due to his wings. Unknown to the rest of the team, he is a plant for a shadowy figure manipulating the Wranglers.

A group of alien criminals exiled from their homeworld for their crimes; their species has inherent psionic powers. Their members are Aliff, Dofan, Krul, twins Trell and Trill, and Znaid.
